This blog is mainly about XP Media Centre Edition and my addiction to digital networks. But like all the best blogs (Sean Alexander, Thomas Hawk etc) it will discuss all things about life in a digital world. There will be a lot of info on MCE, Home Theatre, Music, Movies, Blogging, The Internet and whatever else that comes up that is thought provoking, stimulating and interesting.

Media Center Roundup by Sean Alexander

"Sales of Media Center PCs have skyrocketed since July 9, according to a recent study by Current Analysis. For the week ending August 20, 2005, Media Center PCs accounted for 43% of all desktop personal computers sold in the U.S. retail market, based on data from a sampling of U.S. retailers."

71% of the Media Centers sold in the week ending August 20 did not have a TV tuner. Maybe they're all with Thomas Hawk waiting for Digital Cable support ;)

The products being showcased are part of tihe mHome product line and include a home automation software application, mControl; a media center PC solution, mTheater; a home automation controller, mServer; and a secondary display for media center PC's, mDisplay. For mControl, Embedded Automation will be demonstrating their upcoming release, v1.2, which offers new functionality. More here.
